I hope everyone had a great, wonderful and blessed Easter weekend. And for anyone who hosted an Easter egg hunt in the backyard over the weekend, I sincerely hope that all the hard-boiled eggs were found. Because if not, you will be in for a “stinky treat” in a week or two once the weather heats up. There’s nothing worse than the smell of rotten eggs. P-U!!
Anyway, in light of all the sad and depressing news making headlines lately, I thought I’d scour the internet for some amusing photos and stories from around the world. And here’s what I found:
Remember the expression: “When pigs fly”? Well over the weekend, they did just that at this show in Sydney, Australia. Rumor has it that Miss Piggy was originally scheduled to make an appearance, but the promoters decided to rescind their invitation following a disagreement resulting from her diva-like demands. She insisted on the full VIP treatment for herself and her longtime boo, Kermit the Frog – first class flight, a limousine from the airport and lodging at a five-star hotel. (For a pig show? Really??) Her meal request included two Quarter Pounders with cheese, three Big Mac’s, four large French fries, two apple pies and a diet Coke. Oh, and a jar of chocolate-covered insects for Kermit. But her most peculiar demand was that she wanted to be formally introduced by her BFF’s (so she says) Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. AND she wanted to be addressed as “Miss Piggy Gettin’ Jiggy ‘Cause Piggy Got Back.” The promoters agreed to all of her demands except for the introduction. Ultimately, the negotiations broke down and they decided to invite Porky Pig instead. And aside from a little stuttering, he was the hit of the show.
“Pup in a Cup” anyone? This product idea was submitted to the folks at Starbucks, but of course they turned it down. They did, however, purchase the rights to use the photo in print ads to appeal to animal lovers. How cute is he??? He is straight up chillin’!! Striking a pose for the camera. I think his nickname should be Li’l T Dub. He’s a photogenic little guy and, being that he’s only three weeks old, he’s still in his cute phase. But just give him a couple months and he’ll be speaking Spanish and craving Taco Bell. A few months later he’ll start listening to Snoop Dogg and Bow Wow and barking for “gin and juice” in his bowl instead of water. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t eventually turn to a life of crime and end up serving time in a maximum security doggy prison. He’s too cute and he may not last very long in there. So before he takes that wrong turn, maybe T Dub’s owner can get McGruff the Crime Dog to become his mentor.
Quick! Think of 10 song titles/lyrics that best describe this photo. Here’s what I came up with:
1. I Only Have Eyes for You (The Flamingos)
2. I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me (Rockwell)
3. Eyes Without a Face (Billy Idol)
4. Eye of the Tiger (Survivor)
5. I Can See Clearly Not, The Rain is Gone (Johnny Nash)
6. Private Eyes (Hall & Oates)
7. For Your Eyes Only (Sheena Easton)
8. His Eye is On the Sparrow (Tonya Blount & Lauryn Hill)
9. Forever in Your Eyes (Mint Condition)
10. All Eyez on Me (2Pac)
Those eyes look creepy, though. I’d hate to walk by and discover that they’re ALL following me!
Finally, Happy Birthday wishes go out to everyone celebrating a birthday this week. Have a blessed week and remember - Wednesday is April 15 which is the deadline to file your taxes. So if you haven't done so, you have until midnight on Wednesday.
